It was changed to false by mistake, a patch to fix it should be arriving
on the mailing list in a few moments.

The comment on src/device.c around line 1683 gives some hints on what
my mistake may have caused: it could be that the device while connected
"hides" some items from its service record. So with reverse set to
false, some records that are present are being removed by mistake.

I agree that the logic is quite messy. Just some comments:

That assumes that the service list that a device implements is very much
static, which only breaks for development (in which the services of an 
device are always changing) and you will need to remove that device and 
create it again.
